Hi Mark,

A couple of questions

• What is Hotels.ng built on? i.e framework, language, etc.
• Is it more cost effective for you to use VPS type solution, or Cloud hosting
• Also, I read somewhere a while back that you guys provide people with smartphones to go and enlist hotel owners and take pictures. Is this still the practise? If so, do you think it can scale as you ramp up operations?

Thanks.

– Hotels.ng is built on a simple stack: PHP with MySQL and Sphinx.
– We use a dedicated server actually
– Sometimes smartphones are good enough. Sometimes very professional cameras!
